Why Should You Keep Your Wisdom Teeth?

In recent years, the topics of the connection between mouth/tooth health and body health have gained more and more interest. your oral health is far more important than you might have realized and we are becoming increasingly aware of the connection between the body, the mouth, teeth, and gums. According to the meridian system, poor tooth health can affect organ health and cause blockages of energy flow. Conditions in the mouth have a profound potential to reflect and influence our health as a whole. Disruptions to the flow of energy through the mouth may affect remote regions of the body and disruptions of other areas in the body may manifest in the mouth. These relationships are a result of communication between the meridians and the teeth. At least 46% of the motor and sensory nerves in the cortex of our brain are linked to our mouths and faces. Wisdom teeth are connected to our small intestine and the front of our pituitary gland according to the meridian system. The small intestine is linked to the heart meridian in TCM, therefore, the wisdom teeth are also linked to the heart function. When any tooth is removed we are breaking the energy flow in a particular meridian that streams through that tooth. Research shows that heart disease and stroke may be associated with a decline in oral health. Studies have shown that gum disease is more frequent and severe among people who have diabetes. Research also shows that people who have gum disease have more challenges to control their blood sugar levels. Tooth removal before the age of 35 can be a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease.

Wisdom teeth extractions can be quite dangerous. A report by dentist Jay Friedman in the American Journal of Public Health reveals that 67% or more of preventative wisdom teeth removals are unnecessary. The article explains that most of the pain and infections surrounding wisdom teeth are not caused by the teeth themselves, but rather the symptoms that arise from their surgical removal, which can cause long-lasting or permanent damage.

Why Does Your Health Start from Your Mouth?

Your gut health starts from your mouth and your mouth is the entrance of your gut. Your mouth contains over 700 different microbes. Some of these microbes make their way to your stomach and gut every time you swallow. This is why your health starts from your mouth. According to studies, the pathogens in your artery walls are identical to those in your mouth, therefore, your heart health is closely linked to your oral health. I discussed the importance of oral care in the past. Today, I am going to discuss a toothache plant.

Spilanthes is a member of the Asteraceae plant family, which also includes asters, daisies, and sunflowers. It has flowers similar to that of Echinacea. Now it grows in various tropical and sub-tropical areas of the world, including America, Africa, India, Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Sri Lanka. Spilanthes is a genus comprised of around 60 species of plant. Both Spilanthesacmella and Spilanthesoleracea were referred to as the ‘toothache plant’.

The major bioactive compounds in Spilanthes are spilanthol and alkylamides.There are other bioactive compounds, such as N-isobutylamides, phenolic compounds, coumarins, and triterpenoids. The active ingredient in spilanthes is found in its leaves and blooms, spilanthol is one of the most potent natural analgesics and numbing agents. If you chew the blooms or leaves, you will experience not only numbness but also increased saliva production, you should experiment with only a small amount to experience how you react. The saliva production can help enhance your digestion and cleanse the mouth. Traditionally, spilanthes has been used for the treatment of toothache, digestive discomfort, and gum care. Spilanthes also fight against pathogens that contribute to coughs and sore throats. Topical application tincture of Spilanthes can quickly relieve the pain of inflamed gums. Its pain-numbing (analgesic) properties can be used on other areas of the body as well.

Spilanthes extract is perhaps the quickest and most effective remedy to relieve tooth pain. To learn more, please check my recent blog.

How to Amplify the Frequency Healing to Boost Your Health?

Music is the divine vibration that raises one’s inner being to peace and bliss. The teaching of ancient sages of India suggested that the pronunciation of vowels corresponds to the vibration of five inner planets: Venus (O), Jupiter (A), Saturn (E), Mars (I), and Mercury (U). The power of sound, music, and vowels are the creative forces of the universe.

Mantra has been used to harness this divine power for thousands of years. A mantra is a sacred sound, a syllable, a word, or a group of words in Sanskrit with many layers of meaning. It is a language of human spiritual physiology. The practice of chanting mantras can activate the nervous system and cells in the body to reach a harmonious state by the vibration of divine sound.

One simple mantra is OM, which is the sound of the universe. Chanting the Om mantra is a sacred practice that relaxes and charges the body and mind. OM Mantra is said to have self-healing power that not only energizes you but also improves your immunity. One of the benefits of chanting the OM mantra is environmental purification. The mantra tends to purify the environment around you to help you create a positive environment around you. Through chanting the OM mantra, you form a firm control over your emotions and you are able to channel your thoughts towards positive emotions. Om chanting is a good exercise if you want to strengthen your vocal cords. The vibrations also open up the sinuses to clear the airways.

One of the best ways to chant the OM mantra is in a group. When the mantra is chanted in a group, the effects are amplified, and this will produce immense positive vibrations. Acoustic therapies are becoming more and more popular today to promote healing, boost energy, and increase our vibration. These powerful healing tools not only benefit our physical health but also our emotional well-being and spiritual health.

A Simple Remedy for Your Thyroid Health

A sluggish thyroid function can not only affect your weight but also your energy levels and metabolism. Apart from metabolism, thyroid hormones affect breathing, the nervous system, heart function, body temperature, etc. Untreated hypothyroidism can contribute to hypertension, dyslipidemia, infertility, cognitive impairment, and neuromuscular dysfunction. Let's shed some light on how to boost your thyroid function from ancient Ayurvedic medicine. 

Guggul is the common name for the flowering Mukul myrrh tree, it is derived from an oily sap of the Mukul myrrh tree. This tree is a shrub with thin, shiny bark and thorny branches. It is commonly found in India and other dry regions such as Northern Africa and Central Asia. Guggul is known by the Sanskrit name “Guggulu,” which means, “protects from disease”. There are many varieties of Guggulu and each has different uses, which are determined in part by the color and age of the resinous myrrh gum. Guggul was once relatively abundant in many parts of India. However, it is very difficult to harvest the resinous sap without damaging the tree, leaving it susceptible to infection and decline. You may not be aware that the trees take several years to mature to the point where they can be safely harvested and they need time to recover between harvest periods, without this recovery period, they are at risk of damage and even death.

The health benefits of guggul are traced back hundreds of years ago in India. People in the past used it as Ayurvedic medicine. Traditionally, guggul was used for joint pain, weight management, liver problems, intestinal worms, ulcers, bladder infections, and heart problems. Guggul is known for its powerful detoxifying and rejuvenating qualities. In general, Guggulu has an affinity for all of the tissues in the body as well as the circulatory, digestive, nervous, and respiratory systems.  The active ingredient in Guggul extract is known as guggulsterone, which has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties at the cellular levels. Guggulsterone also has been shown to upregulate the bile salt export pump which is responsible for the removal of cholesterol metabolites from the liver.  Studies have shown that guggul can reduce the symptoms of hypothyroidism by increasing T3 levels and T4 levels and improving liver conversion of thyroid hormones. It also increases iodine uptake, which is needed to make thyroid hormones. Studies have indicated the consumption of guggul extract increases iodine uptake by the body and stimulates the synthesis of thyroid hormones, which keeps the thyroid gland healthy and active. Guggul may not produce noticeable benefits for those who do not have a thyroid gland or have undergone radioactive iodine treatment. Because much of its benefit comes in boosting the function of the existing thyroid gland.
Researches suggest that taking guggul orally can help treat severe acne on the face, chest, and back, and prevent acne outbreaks. Guggul promotes skin health through collagen production. It also restrains the growth of skin-damaging enzymes.

Guggulsterone, an active ingredient of guggul, can break down fat cells (lipolysis), which promotes weight loss. Guggulu supports weight loss by removing accumulated toxins and excessive buildup of tissues. It also supports the digestion of oils and fats. It also has effects on specific fat-storing hormones such as insulin, leptin, and thyroid hormone. These 3 hormones help regulate the metabolism and also influence satiety and appetite. 
Guggulsterone helps reduce inflammation, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome, which leads to improved function of arteries and the heart. Its cholesterol-lowering activity is responsible for preventing fat deposition within blood vessels, as a result, it helps prevent plaque formation and reduces the risk of heart disease. Guggulu reduces inflammation in the joints and lubricates and rejuvenates the tissues within and around the joints, which supports the movement of joints.
Here are some amazing health benefits of Guggulu:

• Balances cholesterol levels.
• Boosts thyroid function.
• Promotes weight loss.
• Reduces acne and prevents acne outbreaks.
• Reduces pain and inflammation in arthritis.
• Reduces the risk of heart attack and strokes.
• Provides anti-inflammatory and anti-parasitic properties.
• Detoxifies and rejuvenates the body.

Because of guggulu’s subtle and penetrating qualities, it is often used to carry other substances deep into the tissues. The qualities of the other herbs help direct where exactly the Guggulu travels in the body, and its combination with other herbs enhances its detoxifying and rejuvenating qualities.
Guggul is taken orally through supplements. There is no well-established and precise dosing guideline currently. However, the following dosages have been claimed effective in some studies. The dosage ranges from 50mg up to 500mg (or more) in some cases. 

• For Thyroid Function: 500 to 1,000 mg per day
• For Weight Loss: 500 to 1,000 mg per day
• For Inflammation: 500 mg per day

Guggul also poses risks when it is combined with certain medications. It is best to be cautious or avoid taking guggul with other medications. Excessive use can lead to dryness of mouth, impotency, vertigo, and affects the liver or lungs. Guggul should be avoided for pregnancy, during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and in cases of excessive uterine bleeding, or acute kidney infection.

Here are a few ways to use guggulu externally: in a healing balm to promote healthy skin and improve the movement of joints. You can also use Guggul for gargling to support healthy oral mucus membranes, teeth, and gums.
